Well. The 1 seeds are already coming off the bye. Giving them the Saturday game doesn't matter to them. They play the lowest remaining seeds so the lowest seeds get the shortest amount of rest. You are the lowest seed so tough teats. The higher remaining seeds play Sunday which means they at least get a full week of rest as their reward for being the higher seed.
The teams who could have been potentially been stuck with a short week this year were Tennessee, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Chicago. At most, 3 of them would possibly have advanced and, at most, 2 of them would have played on short rest. Minimally, one of them would play on short rest.
Top seeds in baseball do not have to play for several days and can set up their pitching while the WC play in game is happening.
